This may be old news.

http://www.saabusa.com/ go to the 9-2X AWD section.

I reckon it's actually an improvement.

Looks like a cross between an Outback, Impreza & 9-3.
2.5L turbo intercooled engine, 12psi boost, 230hp & AWD. Sounds like a good combo to me!

Has been around for years. Nice car though.

Sadly it is no more, I believe they pulled the plug on this model alliance last year. Probably run out of model stock soon too.

I seem to remember some argument Subaru and Saab had in the final stages of the agreement to run this model. Something about Saab thinking they were getting the WRX and Subaru thinking they were giving Saab a base model povpack. Looks like Saab won out in the end.

Will be interesting to see if any of these become offroad modified one day like we all know the current Subarus will. Would look a bit funny!
